Control what you can

Hi Everyone!   Well, what can I say. This is supposed to be a rejoicing and celebrating time, but for many of us right now it is mixed with a large dose of anxiety, disappointment and maybe even illness. That’s not to say it’s all bad – we will still do what we can to […]

Restorative training

Hi All!   Wow, December can feel hectic, can’t it? For most people December is a good time to exercise restoratively. What does this mean?

Colours

Hi Everyone!   Hope you’re all taking some time to pause during some of your runs these days to soak in the fall colours. We’ll be getting dazzled by them in the coming days – hope you enjoy them!   I read something about leaves which I never knew before (in the marginalian by Maria […]

Grabbing on with both hands

Hi Everyone!   Shout out to those of us who raced this past weekend! Gillian I with a huge half marathon PB in her virtual Scotiabank Half Marathon. And Jen, Erin and Cassidy and Moi who raced in the Toronto Women’s 5K. It really is fun to be back.   What I’ve been thinking about […]
